Continuing the mellow vibe that started with last week's post, this week's batch of new music is pretty and somewhat mellow. First up is "Red," the first song from Lost in the Trees ' upcoming (March 20) Anti- Records release A Church that Meets Our Needs. It's streaming now on NPR , so check it out. Next up is "Sweet Carolina" from the self-released first album by my longtime friend Mark Roper's band Kingdom of Rust . Mark and his friend Kevin Mitchell [...]

2009 Caroline 969591 Granted, I'm a slow blogger. (Slow Blog - Take it Easy) I heard this track a few months back - was cleaning out my pick-up and found the sampler disc. The shear beauty slays me. What comes to mind for me? Fred Neil, Glen Campbell, Harry Nilsson, Jimmy Webb, John Hartford, Al DeLory and Lee Hazlewood production work. Just Brilliant. A composition for the big screen. Nothing left to say. Tap in. Kingdom Of Rust Tagged: 2009, Astralwerks/Heavenly, Caroline, Doves, Kingdom of [...]
Doves have released the music video for ' Winter Hill '. The track is off the band's latest album, ' Kingdom of Rust '. The music video was directed by David Mould. ' Kingdom of Rust ' is out now.
Doves acaba de presentar el vídeo del nuevo sencillo de su Kingdom of Rust , el tema "Winter Hill" . Este fue dirigido por David Mould y presenta a un ciclista extremo siendo perseguido por una multitud. Una idea sin duda interesante y bien filmada y presentada, pero no estoy segura de qué tan bien vaya con la canción. A ustedes qué les parece. Vía: Stereogum Comparte esta anotación
A quick search told me I haven't written about Doves since my Year End List of 2005 ...this surprised me at first as I really enjoy Doves. Then I realized that they hadn't released a record in ages and I haven't seen them live in about four years...so not so surprising really. Anyway, I'm on my way out the door (Deerhunter!) but I wanted to make sure I noted here how much I'm enjoying Kingdom of Rust . Once again Doves have concocted a marvellous record. While it may not reach the heights of [...]

ON FURTHER REVIEW by NICK PARKER The other day I came across a published review of the Doves new album. It was odd to see Kingdom of Rust appear in Rolling Stone magazine of all places. (As an astute and informed music buyer, many of you might think it quite surprising that I was looking inside a Rolling Stone in the first place...) What was even more surprising, actually, was the fact that RS [...]

BUY $8.99 | MYSPACE I'm just going to come right out and say it: Doves can do no wrong by me. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of their records, each one well crafted and beautifully recorded. I've spent a considerable amount of time picking apart their distinctive sound, unlearning what I already know about mainstream music and having the Doves slowly reteach it all to me. They have spent weeks on my play-list and because of that I'm known to drive co-workers to the point of [...]

LIVE REVIEW: Doves + De Rosa @ Brighton Dome - 16th April 2009 words: Jamie Milton This whole evening just screams the word "injustice" at your face, over and over again. As Lady GaGa, a talentless, rich bitch, pops open the champagne for another week, Doves , the act the thousands in attendance have come out to see in response to their consisently heartfelt output, have to settle for #2 in the album charts. De Rosa , [...]
Los Yeah Yeah Yeahs están promocionando su nueva producción It's Blitz , lo que implica un montón de presentaciones en diversos programas de televisión. Ayer el grupo estuvo como invitado en el show de Jimmy Fallon , en donde tocaron la canción "Heads Will Roll" . Y aunque ya no haya más saltos ni gemidos, a mi esta banda me sigue pareciendo maravillosa en vivo. Otros que también están en plena promoción son los chicos de Doves , quienes tocaron "Kingdom Of Rust" y [...]

Brit-pop lullaby rockers Doves offer their latest - a critically favored piece that revels in minimal composition and big production. These guys are no strangers to the indie rock scene; The band has released four LPs since their full length debut in 2000. In 9 years they have been subjects of near universal critical praise, [...]

[Heavenly, Astralwerks; 2009] Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars "It wouldn't hurt you to f***in' move around a bit" snarled Jimi Goodwin to a half-filled arena of bemused onlookers chatting to each other whilst waiting for the night's headline band Travis to come onstage. This was back in 2003 at my first ever rock concert experience. I had never heard of Doves before but there was no doubt on leaving the venue that night that they had left a big impression on me. Their second album The Last Broadcast , released a few weeks [...]
... Doves n'est toujours pas aussi "big" que Coldplay. Un scandale ? Oui ma bonne dame ! Jetez donc un oeil à cette vidéo illustrant le premier single de leur nouvel album. Ca mériterait également d'être utilisé dans une pub iPod non... Watch :

It has finally been released folks. And I have myself a copy. The question is, am I happy or sad? Am I satisfied? Blown away? Disappointed? It's been four years since the last Doves release, so we've all been anxiously anticipating Kingdom Of Rust for quite some time, and when "Jetstream" hit the airwaves, people (myself and KR included) went Dove wild and were excited for a slightly new sound from them. Kingdom Of Rust does have a new sound. And while it's obviously still too early to fully judge, I was expecting [...]
by melissa daniels Those of you who dig indie rock from across the Atlantic will be thrilled by the newest release from the Manchester-based trio Doves, whose Kingdom of Rust gets released stateside this Tuesday after a long four years since their last album. Artist: Doves [...]

Doves' new album, "Kingdom of Rust" is now streaming on Myspace. MySpace users can now stream the entire album exclusively for free before it goes on sale on April 7. Doves Myspace
Manchester, England's Doves, have been churning out intricate soundscapes and uplifting choruses since their critically acclaimed debut at the start of the decade. There is more of the same on their latest release, Kingdom Of Rust .
Honesty is hard to define in the context of an album but since we first heard 'The Cedar Room' in 2000, State has been eager followers of Doves' sound, coming as it does from a mix of optimism and grey streets, a Northern English guitar realism with that often-mentioned dance undercurrent (from their past as Sub Sub). They have played some of the most joyus concerts ever witnessed in The Olympia, Dublin too. After opening The Last Broadcast gig with the massive 'There Goes The Fear' then straight into and 'Pounding' a Sunday Times hack remarked [...]

Have you heard these new Doves tracks? Don't know much about them, but while perusing some music blogs I came upon this post from Sell The Lie about the new songs Winter Hill and House Of Mirrors . The album Kingdom of Rust is out on tuesday. Phoenix has a new song out there called Lisztomania delivers what we're used to from this French group. Catchy melodies wrapped in syncopation. Love it. Try the hype for [...]
